TCM was doing a series of James Garner movies this weekend and I caught Hour of the Gun and The Great Escape.
Hour of the Gun was excellent. It is basically an earlier version of Tombstone. Jason Robards just kills the part of Doc Holliday. Highly recommend this one.
The Great Escape was enjoyable but felt a bit overlong. Also, Steve McQueen's part felt completely shoehorned in. It was like he was in a different movie. Still, the movie made me read up on the actual escape, which was pretty interesting.
